  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if necessary)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them.
  7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious lemon blueberry bread!
